It’s called the GAPS diet. GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome and was developed […]

As most of you are already aware, I am a health & fitness coach, and I also live with bipolar disorder. A couple weeks ago, I was talking with my psychiatrist, and he said to me, “Lyndsay, you are always taking care of your clients and inspiring them. You’re taking care of the kids you […]
